Not So Average Life

18- Crutches and Crushes

"Don't worry it's nothing big, she just broke her leg. She probably passed out because she's tired or shocked. She can be discharged." The doctor told Sean. "Are you her guardian? Where's her parents?"

"Uh... they went off. They're busy with work." Sean scratched his head.

The doctor nodded and walked out.

After that Sean fetch us all home. I sat beside Jay the whole journey.

"Why didn't you just fucking die?" He whispered to me.

"What did I ever did wrong?" I finally asked.

"Existed." He glared at me. "All you've ever done is cause pain to people around you. I heard your mom died when she was on her way to fetch you?"

"NO!" I suddenly shouted out of nowhere causing Sean to brake the car due to the shock.

Everyone jerked forward causing our heads to hit whatever's in front.

Jay groaned while rubbing his head. "See? That's what I meant."

"What the fuck Emma?" Andrew shouted from the front seat while trying to get up to hit me.

"Sit the fuck back down!" Sean yelled. "Don't shout like that Emma."

"Sorry...." I quickly apologized and sank back into my seat. I've never really thought of that.

I caused my mom's death? Was it really my fault? I mean, she wouldn't have died if I just never existed right? Jace wouldn't have been beaten up if I never existed. Mia wouldn't been hurt if I never existed. And they wouldn't be angry everyday and just lived a happy life with dad and Rose if I never existed....

After a long and difficult trip walking back to my room with my crutches, I fall into my bed feeling extremely exhausted from everything that happened today. I stared blindly into the ceiling trying to find the point of life and slowly fading away into my sleep.

*Ringggg*
Ugh it was Monday again. I freaking hate Mondays.

I had a huge difficulty walking and with no one to help me. I looked around trying to catch a glimpse of Jace but he was nowhere to be found. He really don't even want to talk to me huh, I thought. I guess I kind of just hope he will come and explain to me that everything was just a misunderstanding. Finally, I landed in my seat in mathematic class. I was there early, but so was Kathy and her friends.

"Oh I see you have a broken leg you poor thing." Kathy stroke my hair while her other friends surrounded my table. I could only sit there feeling helpless.

"You know what, I'm sure you're thirsty. Here let me help you." She put out her hand towards Jessica while being handed a bottle of water. She opened it and poured it right unto my head I gasped loudly while watching all of them walk away back to their places and me sitting there not able to do anything. Suddenly, the classroom door swings open dramatically. I quickly turned my head to see Ryan walking straight towards me. He coolly handed me some paper towels.

"Here." He then proceeded to sit down beside me.

"Wait how did you even know I needed paper towels?" I took it suspiciously.

He looked at me, "Is this how you thank someone who helps you? Unlike your 'best friend' Jace."

"Fine you're right. Well, thanks. How did you know about Jace as well? I wiped off the water on my hair while asking.

"Puh-lease, probably the whole grade 9 knows this." He said in a sassy manner while snapping his finger.

I cracked and started laughed, so did he. I shyly looked over at him. He ruffled through his fluffy golden brown hair and smiled innocently. My heart fluttered a little. How could I not, he was my first love so it wasn't that hard to be crushing on him again. And considering he's been so nice to me lately.

An hour of boring mathematics finally was over. Although I'm good at it, I hated it.

"Bye Emma I gotta go somewhere." Ryan waved and rushed out the door. Leaving me alone with my crutches and.... all the other kids.

"Hey lil bitch." Cameron approached me.

I ignored him.

"Look at me when I'm talking." Cameron yelled while Bryce gave my hair a hard pull from behind. Kathy and Jessica joined too.

"Ugh look at what a loser she is." Jessica said and they all laughed.

"You guys are childish." I suddenly blurted. More like accidentally blurted.

Jay scoffed from behind as he slowly got up from his seat. "What did you say?"

"Imma punch this bitch." Cameron lunged towards me. I flinched but the punch was stopped by Jay.

I didn't want to stay there anymore so I got up with my crutches and walk away. But before I could even go anywhere, Jay snatched my crutches away causing me to fall, on my freaking broken leg. I groaned really loud in pain on the floor. He placed my crutches at the corner of the classroom.

They all laughed really hard while I laid helplessly on the floor.

"Aww do you want your crutches back?" Jay teased. "Go get it." And they laughed again.

I saw Axel standing there and staring at me with pity. But he couldn't do anything.

"Ca.. can I please have them back?" I asked softly.

"I'm sorry I can't really hear you well. What did you say?" Kathy leaned in closer.

"Please give me my crutches back." I begged.

"Please give me my crutches back." Cameron mimicked. "Hahaha why don't you crawl there and get it yourself."

Cameron left me a kick before laughing and walking out with the others.

"Wait no, please. Please. Jay? Please please." My voice slowly trailed off and turned into sniffles.

I started crawling my way over to my crutches bearing with every ounce of pain flowing through my entire body.

Axel's point of view-
They took Emma's crutches causing her to fall. I really couldn't stand seeing her like this. She was helpless. Finally they were done having fun and went out leaving her on the floor.

"Aren't you coming?" Jay asked me.

"Uh yea just a sec. I'll catch up later you guys go get lunch first." I replied.

After they were out of sight, I quickly returned to the classroom. I saw she was trying to get the crutches and I could tell she was in a lot of pain. I quickly went and took it and hand it to her. Walking off right away before she could thank me. Although I could hear a muffled voice saying thank you on my way out. I smiled a little.
